About the Role
General Motors is developing autonomous driving systems and is seeking a principal systems engineer to lead the technical direction of lidar technology, from system-level decisions to production path evaluation. You will leverage your expertise to drive the technology path on optical path, signal processing, calibration, and failure modes, integrating lidars with autonomy products for performance and cost-effectiveness.
Responsibilities
- Own the technical strategy for lidar development as part of current and future autonomy program multi-modality sensing suites
- Work alongside technical experts in sensors and perception to define leading-edge autonomy products
- Lead trade studies taking into account performance, cost, and integration to influence the next-generation of lidar development
- Evaluate data products from prototype and production platforms to assess opportunity for improvement
- Work with production teams and vendors to see technology realized into production designs
- Define lidar performance requirements to achieve next-generation autonomy capabilities with robustness across broad ODDs
Requirements
- Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Applied Physics or related field
- 13+ years of experience in a remote sensing, lidar development, photonic system development or related, with a majority of that experience concentrated in lidars
- Demonstrated role as a recognized lidar authority on a program or within an organization with decision making authority on technical direction of lidar technology development
- Direct experience developing lidar hardware and signal processing as well as calibration methodology and data consumption or analysis
- Experience with productionization challenges of lidar technology and the trade spaces therein
- Deep command of lidar fundamentals and their practical impacts to design across optical link budget analysis, target phenomenology, detector physics, noise, laser safety, optical path design, window optics, spectrum selection, and signal processing techniques.
- Experience developing robust solutions for weather and environmental effects
- Experience developing lidar for autonomy products
- Significant experience with SPAD lidars
- Hands-on proficiency with data analysis and ability to lead root cause analysis and analytic efforts
- Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability effectively communicate technical strategy to a wide range of audiences of varying background
